Lisa O’Neil is a writer, designer, and former management and technology consultant fascinated with design’s ability to influence emotion and behavior. Her consulting experience with large companies in the media, fashion, finance, telecom, healthcare, IT, art, and design sectors repeatedly illustrated how significantly design affects workplace productivity and morale. She also maintains a deep, lifelong interest in the mental health benefits that can be obtained from an inspiring and calming personal environment.

Lisa’s thesis examines the home storage industry.  She has enjoyed pursuing her Master’s at SVA ,where she has been fortunate to explore her interest in design as well as new venues for her favorite question, “why is that there?”
